OpenSUSE Hardware :: Disable Monitor Detection In 11.4?

Mar 11, 2011

I've just upgraded to 11.4 and found myself with the same problem that I posted in Available resolutions vary depending if monitor is on or off when starting the system I'm using this pc as a server, and I acces to it most of the time via VNC, so the monitor is turned off almost all the time. If the pc boots while monitor is on, i have a resolution of 1280, if it's off I get 1024.

In the previous post I fixed this using the option "CustomEDID" in my xorg.conf, but this time I have no xorg.conf file to put this option in, and even if I did, since I'm using the default drivers (Nouveau, i think) instead of Nvidia oficial ones, i have no clue about how to obtain edid.bin. how to fix this without installing the propietary drivers? (since i don't need ant fancy 3d effects, kde seems to work fine and performance is ok)

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 And Monitor Detection?

Jul 22, 2010

I opted to blow away my system (no did not save xorg.conf), and do a clean install of 11.3. Not a big deal to blow it away, nothing lost.

Dell Dimension C521, 3GB RAM, Athlon DualCore
OpenSuse 11.3 x64
Nvidia GeForce 6150LE (on mainboard)
Dell 2048FP 24" Monitor, connected via VGA

When doing the install, all appears to go well. I added the "nomodeset" option after the first boot to avoid the graphics issues. KDE comes up and is in 800x600 mode at 50hz. That is the best resolution it will show. All other options in the configure desktop applet are lower. This monitor was driven at 1900x1200 on the same config with 11.2.

[Code]...

In the nVidia-Settings applet (run as root), it shows the display as "CRT-0". 11.2 showed it as a Dell.

Ubuntu :: NVidia Dual Monitor - Auto Detection - Without To Restart X?

Jun 22, 2010

I've just installed Ubuntu on my laptop. My laptop has an nVidia card so I'm forced to use the nVidia configuration tools. What I'd like to happen is for it to automatically start using my monitors if they're detected. OR, make a simple script that will enable the monitors without needing to restart X.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Disable Secondary Monitor Quickly Other Than Loading Up Nvidia-settings And Disabling The Monitor Every Time?

Jun 29, 2010

Currently I have two 1920x1080 screens running in Twinview on my Geforce 275 graphics card. Want I want to do is a quick simple way of disabling my secondary monitor when playing video games or using xbmc to watch movies, etc. I've tried a few applets but they require the xandr function which I think Nvidia doesn't support.

Is there a way to disable this quickly other than loading up nvidia-settings and disabling the monitor everytime. I don't really want to use two seperate x sessions and xinerama due to the fact you can't use compositing.

Ubuntu :: Disable Compiz On One Monitor In A Two Monitor System

I have persistent video tearing my second monitor (Mitsubushi HDTV). I have tried everything that was suggested with some improvement. I have no issue with tearing if I add the following to my xorg.conf

Quote:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

Is it possible to disable composite for one monitor only and keep it for the other. Or at lease is it possible to have compiz for one monitor only and disable it for the other.

Ubuntu :: Disable Gnome Monitor Names?

Jan 2, 2010

I'm running 9.10 on my laptop hooked up to an external monitor via HDMI. However gnome places the name of each screen in the upper left corner of each screen so that my laptop has a "laptop 13" icon and my external has an "ACI 22"" icon blocking gnome's Applications Menu. Is there anyway to disable these icons?

They are detailed here: [URL] "GNOME 2.24 has upgraded its screen resolution controls to make this possible. Utilising the new XRandR 1.2 specification from X.Org, this dialogue enables users to easily set up individual monitors in a number of configurations. Monitors are named and the names appear in the top left corner of the screen for easy identification."

Slackware :: Dual Screen - Disable The Second Monitor When X Is Not Running?

Sep 11, 2010

I would like to use my second monitor with my Slackware (Laptop) setup but they are different sizes/resolutions.

This is no problem with KDE but before X is started and when X ends there are big issues with the TTY0 console being distorted.

Is it possible to disable the second monitor when X is not running?

(Slackware64Current, ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 card)

I essentially want the second monitor to activate ONLY in the event of an X Session and turn off when X halts.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Command To Enable And Disable A Secondary Monitor Using The Nvidia X Server?

Aug 16, 2010

I need to find out a command to enable and disable a secondary monitor using the Nvidia X Server. I've got a monitor attached to my laptop that I don't use all the time and would like to just have a launcher to switch between "twinview" and "disabled" quickly rather than having to go through the menus. It's physical position is vertically above the primary monitor so I have to put in a custom position every time I enable it.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Triple Monitor Setup: X Crashes When Moving To The Second Graphics Card (third Monitor)

Oct 22, 2010

This is a triple-monitor setup with two video cards, where the mouse pointer gets "stuck" if it tries to cross from one video card to the next one. It worked correctly in openSUSE 11.2 and doesn't work in openSUSE 11.3 with the same xorg.conf. This is a 64-bit openSUSE 11.3 with xorg 7.5-11.3 (the openSUSE prepackaged version). I've already tried NVidia drivers 256.53-16.1 (the openSUSE NVidia repository version) and 260.19.12 (the latest off of the NVidia website).

This is the same xorg.conf that I used successfully in openSUSE 11.2. I tried a new automatically generated xorg.conf using nvidia-settings and it had the same problem. This forum won't let me upload the relevant files, but here: [URL] is a tar-ball with my xorg.conf, Xorg.*.log, /var/log/messages, and the NVidia debugging output.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Nvidia 19.29-22.1 Suse 11.3 Dual Monitor Mouse Flickers When Moved To 2nd Monitor?

Jan 15, 2011

just setup suse 11.3 , put on the Nvidia 19.29-22.1 drivers via yast , no kms is set in inetd , nomodeset on grub boot line etc... Even tried installing the driver " the hard way " dual monitors come up, setup xinerama to "Extend" my desktop , and the main monitor ( right side ) is good, visually the left monitor (2ndary) is good.. but whenever I move my mouse over to the left screen the mouse pointer dissapears, flickers along the right hand border of that screen... and if i move the cursor back to the original screen i have to really fight to get it back to the main screen....Copy of my xorg.conf , still very basic...

Ubuntu :: Monitor Goes To Sleep ... Can't Disable "powersave / Screensaver"

Jun 14, 2010

I have recently switched to Ubuntu (10.04) after running my system on Centos for years. This mostly due to much quicker startup times. I have a software that runs as a public presentation software on a public "bigscreen" so my Ubuntu runs like a "kiosk" pc that's always on. When i switched to Ubuntu everything worked lika a charm besides the fact that the screen falls in to "sleep"/"powersave" or something.

I think that i have tried everything to prevent this. I use Gnome and i have set all the powersavings features to off. Ive tried turning acpi off and i also turn dpms off at login. Nothing seems to kill the "screen powersaving" feature. As a desperate act i tried to use a software called Coffeine, this software should prevent powersavings. I added Coffeine to autostart to activate for 48h, I need the screen to atleast stay on for 24h.. Does anyone have an ide what cuses this? Dont really want to go back to Centos now... My system basicly looks like this:

General :: Red Hat New Hardware Detection ?

Jan 20, 2010

If i install new hardware using a vmguest or physical system How can I detect it.

disk
nic
memory
etc.

In AIX we just run cfgmgr -v. Is there a similar command in Red Hat?

I am guessing a reboot will pick it up if the device drivers are common enough and in the kernel already.

I want to know how to do this dynamically with the system on-line if possible.

General :: Mp3 Any Beat Detection Software

Apr 9, 2010

Amarok 2 can search through music collection using ID3v2 tag's 'bpm' field. That would be very nice to retag the entire music collection so I can find the 'mood' of the track I like.However I've not found any beat-detection software that could have helped me. Have you ever used one? CLI, preferably. Also I'm interested if there's anything alike for tagging FLACs with the same 'bpm' field.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No DVI Detection In Karmic 9.10?

Apr 20, 2010

I have essentially been raised on Windows so I have no idea how to get DVI to work in Ubuntu. I have a Ubuntu/Vista desktop with an ATI Radeon X1350 graphics card. I can get picture from DVI when I boot into my Vista partition (the computer originally came with Vista and I have a Zune which will not work with Ubuntu ). But the moment I try to use DVI on Ubuntu: I have no picture. The ATI Radeon X1350 Pro is using the open source radeon driver. I know this from the System Testing diagnostic I ran when I finished setting up Ubuntu, the log file mentioned a line: Kernel module: radeon, underneath the section about my graphics card. That is about the limit of my Linux skills for right now, so any thoughts? If you need more information about my system I can comb through that log file which is still saved in my Fire Fox history.

Slackware :: Unable To Get Hdd Detection With ASUS M2A-MX

Sep 13, 2010

i got into serious harddrive detecting issues after an upgrade from slackware 12.2 to 13.0, it simply doesnt seem to find them anymore. ide drive giving lost interrupts and sata drive not being found. when i boot a slackware 13.1 install dvd i get the same issue. but when i boot a 12.1 slackware install dvd it works fine.

to me it seems that something changed in the kernel between these releases which causes this, but i wouldn't know what and how to fix it. i tried searching here and googling but probably not using the correct keyboards. anyone got a clue what to try? i find it hard to believe that this mobo / chipset (which arent the latest but not that old or weird either i believe) arent supported anymore.
